Lorie's 40!

So it's that time of life - all my friends are turning 40. The good thing is that they are older than me - the bad news is that soon I will be as old as them!

Lorie and I have known each other since we were five - can you believe that? My family built a house next to Lorie and her family - the rest is history. We went to kindergarten together - me with my purple mat and her with her blanket - even then she was popular with the boys!

On May 5th, Lorie's husband Pat and her friends threw a big party, complete with 40 purple balloons, snacks, drinks, flowers, chatting, dancing and bags of money! What more could a gal ask for? I must say that Lorie has great friends - everyone seemed to have a great time as people danced until 3 am.

See, old people can still party!
